San Diego Mesa College Comprehensive Master Plan

The San Diego Community College District is implementing a Comprehensive Master Plan for the 106-acre Mesa College campus in San Diego, California, under solicitation number 2025120225. This conceptual framework aims to modernize the campus by demolishing aging facilities and adding approximately 625,000 gross square feet of new building space to accommodate student growth. Near-term priorities include the construction of an Athletics Complex, a Parking Structure, and a Performing Arts and Administration Center. Long-term goals involve the development of on-campus housing, a community clinic, new classroom and office spaces, and the relocation of the child development center, facility services, and the high school, alongside campus-wide utility and circulation improvements. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, requiring a Program Environmental Impact Report to evaluate effects on biological and cultural resources, noise, and traffic. Key regulatory requirements include compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and federal Title VI civil rights standards. Specific mandates are in place to protect tribal cultural resources through confidential consultation processes. Environmental mitigation efforts will include habitat restoration and landscaping, with inspections conducted by qualified biologists or District Project Managers. While a general bond measure of 3.5 billion dollars is noted for district-wide upgrades, a specific contract value for this master plan is not provided.
